The Brainiac Goggles are a cosmetic item for the Engineer. They appear as a pair of black retro-futuristic goggles with gray lenses and a Tesla coil attached to the left eyepiece.

The Brainiac Goggles were later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.

Trivia

  • The word "brainiac", originally derived from the name of a super-intelligent supervillain from the classic Superman comic, has come to mean a very intelligent person. It is a portmanteau of the words 'brain' and 'maniac'.
  • Diplopia and strabismus are both real medical conditions; the former causing the affected to see one object as two, and the latter having one or more eyes misaligned.
